The Triumph America and Speedmaster 1200 represent the laid-back, cruiser side of the British parallel-twin heritage. These air-cooled 790cc and 865cc machines are designed for the open road, featuring a unique low-slung chassis that demands specialized hardware. At British Legends, we provide high-quality Triumph America & Speedmaster parts and premium Triumph America & Speedmaster accessories that allow you to enhance the touring comfort and chrome-laden aesthetic of these iconic cruisers.
We also stock all the spare parts required for the general maintenance and routine servicing of your bike, from consumable wear parts to components that require regular replacement to keep your bike performing as it should over time.
Refining a cruiser is all about the "ride and feel." One of the most impactful upgrades in our Triumph America & Speedmaster parts catalog is the exhaust system; replacing the quiet factory silencers with short-cut or slash-cut stainless steel pipes not only sheds weight but also provides that deep, rhythmic rumble expected from a classic twin. To further customize your ride, our selection of Triumph America & Speedmaster accessories includes ergonomic improvements such as floorboards, tall windscreens, and backrests (sissy bars), ensuring that both rider and passenger can enjoy long-distance journeys without fatigue.
A critical technical nuance for owners is the chassis differentiation. Unlike the Bonneville or Thruxton, the America and Speedmaster utilize a 270-degree crankshaft (similar to the Scrambler) but with a much wider frame. This means that technical Triumph America & Speedmaster parts—such as center stands, engine guards, and seats—are not interchangeable with other air-cooled twins. Furthermore, when selecting Triumph America & Speedmaster accessories for the later EFI models (2008-2016), you must account for the fuel pump integrated into the teardrop tank. At British Legends, we verify every mounting kit to ensure your upgrades respect the specific geometry and foot-forward controls of your cruiser.
Mostly, yes. The main difference is aesthetic (chrome vs black) and ergonomics (handlebars/seats). Most structural Triumph America & Speedmaster parts will fit both bikes.
Yes. Upgrading to braided lines and sintered pads are essential Triumph America & Speedmaster accessories to improve stopping power on these heavier cruiser models.
